Delicious little peanut butter protein balls – all you need to do is mix, roll and chill. A simple snack, guaranteed to hold you over till mealtime!
A super easy, quick recipe for you today! After Thanksgiving, and before the Christmas craziness starts (or has it already?) I wanted an easy way to get some protein in, while not having to stop what I’m doing to do it. I like eating them mid-morning to hold me over til lunch.
These aren’t just great for ME – I’m packing lunches these days and since it gets just as boring PACKING the same old stuff as it does EATING it, I thought I’d do something a little different.
I make these while my boys are in school, and serve them as an after-school snack as well. Why is it that kids come home from school ravenous? I KNOW they eat at school! These peanut butter balls are my secret weapon. Pick them up from school, and throw each of the beasts a baggie containing these. It seems to buy me at least an hour before the whining about when dinner begins.
They’re great motivators for doing homework, too. Even better – these are no-cook! Yep, they’re rolled in graham cracker crumbs – you can skip this if you want to, but I love it!
- Peanut Butter – any kind will do. Use crunchy if it floats your boat!
- Non-Fat Milk Powder – or use full fat. Alternatively, you could use a vanilla protein powder
- Raisins – these give the protein balls the chew. Switch out for apricots or cranberries, if you wish
- Honey – can sub maple syrup or agave
- Graham Cracker Crumbs – buy them already crushed, or get some frustration out and crush your own!
